She destroyed one womans music career and tried to sabotage her rivals chances in a beauty pageant.

And once again, Brias right. Carlottas swan song is just the beginning of the dramaafter the performance, a dead body is found in the piazza. Bria is quickly drawn into a tragedy worthy of any opera, uncovering a familys darkest secrets and deadly passions . . .
